That's odd, but being Ubuntu I guess they remove all development tools. Is important to have gcc as many packages are compiled from source specially on Kernel space, so you will need the C compiler to do it. aptget install gcc might do.
gcc only installs the C compiler, while build-essential includes GCC, G++, Make, libc development headers, and other tools commonly required to compile software and kernel modules. I'd recommend installing build-essential instead.
